I love shrimp, and this is my version of an Italian recipe for shrimp scampi. It's the closest thing to the real Italian recipe that I can make and enjoy when I wish.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 3 Tbsp. virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper
- 1-3/4 lbs. large shrimp, shelled
- 1/2 cup chopped parsley
- Juice from half of lemon
- Cooked pasta
- Hot crusty bread
Directions
In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil. Add garlic, and saute for 1 minute. Add wine, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Let wine reduce, about 2 minutes. Add shrimp and saute 2 to 4 minutes - Just until pink. Stir in the parsley and lemon juice. Serve over hot cooked pasta with hot crusty bread.
Serves: 4
Note: I sometimes heat a GOOD Alfredo sauce and toss the pasta with it, then toss in the shrimp and lightly mix until all is covered.
